You can tell it's Freddy Snr's boy just by watching him play. His movement and the way he strikes a ball is eerily similar.

When you say movement do you mean his spatial awareness and off the ball movement or the way he trudges?
 
I believe the lad has constantly played one or two years above his age group. Word is he could be as good, if not better, than his old man.

Yeah there are a few Father/Son manager & player combos.
RobM was asking if any Father and Sons have ever played (in different teams obviously) for us. The only ones I can think of are the 'Jacks' and even then Bob was during our non-league time. So I don't think we have had a Father/Son play league football during our history.
I wonder how common it is in football in general that a Father and Son have played for the same club.

IIRC George Eastham played in the same team as his dad although I believe it may have been in Ireland

Dominic Iorfa + his son of the same name who we sold to Wolves. I remember his dad playing for us + was quite possibly the quickest player i have ever seen. Unfortunately the incredibly speed usually ended up with him being one on one with the keeper before he realised his legs were going far quicker than his brain and more often than not he then fell over. But great athlete + superb entertainment!!!!

Iorfa played for us on two separate occasions , I seem to remember ghastly Golden boots at one stage.

Amongst our group he was known as either the Lame of Lagos or Dominic I'mawful.

His eldest, Collins, played for Shoebury Boys some years ago

Well let's hope we can encourage his development at THIS club and not get dicked as usual by a bigger club.


That would be cracking to see yet another freddy Eastwood rattling in goals for blues.
